The Truman Show

The world is watching.
"The early bird gathers no moss! The rolling stone catches the worm!"
-- Truman
"I want to be an explorer, like the Great
Magellan."
"Oh, you're too late! There's nothing left to explore!"
-- Young Truman
and Schoolteacher
"Lauren, right? It's on your book."
"Lauren. Right. Right."
"Well, I'm Truman."
"Yeah. I know. Look, Truman, I'm not allowed to talk to you. You know."
"Yeah, well, I can understand, I'm a pretty dangerous character."
-- Truman and
Sylvia
"Where the hell's Fiji? Near Florida?"
"See here?"
"Yeah."
"This is us. And all the way around here... Fiji. You can't get any
further away before you start coming back."
-- Marlon and
Truman
"It was Dad. I swear! Dressed like a
homeless man. And you know what else was strange? A business man and a woman
with a little dog came out of nowhere and forced him onto a bus."
"Well! It's about time they cleaned up the trash downtown before we become just
like the rest of the country."
-- Truman and
Truman's Mother
"Somebody help me, I'm being spontaneous!"
-- Truman
"Blocked at every turn. Beautifully
synchronized, don't you agree?"
"You're blaming me for the traffic?"
"Should I?"
"Truman, let's go home."
"You're right. We could be stuck here for hours. It could be like this all the
way to Atlantic City. Let's go back. I'm sorry. I don't know what got into me."
"Truman, can you slow down?"
"Yes I can!"
"Truman. Truman, that's our turnoff."
"I changed my mind. What's New Orleans like this time of year? Mardi Gras,
woooooo! Ha ha ha ha ha! Hoo hoo hoo! Whoooohoo! Look, Meryl! Same road, no
cars. It's magic! Hahaha!"
"You let me out, Truman. You're not right in the head. You want to destroy
yourself you do it on your own."
"I think I'd like some company."
-- Truman and
Meryl
"What are you gonna do? Grate me, slice me or dice me? There are so many choices."
-- Truman

"If his was more than just a vague ambition, if he was absolutely determined to discover the truth, there's no way we could prevent him."

watching. We can't let him die in front of a live audience!"
"He was born in front of a live audience."
